Deadline reports that Nina has been cast as Clem in the upcoming CBS comedy Fam. Her character is a young woman who seems to have her life on track when her boyfriend purposes. But everything is turned upside down when her half-sister Shannon (Odessa Adlon) shows up at her door because it threatens to expose one of Clem's biggest lies: she's told everyone that her estranged father is dead when he's in fact still alive. Shannon's appearance is sure to shake things up in Clem's picturesque life.

The show was written by Corinne Kingsbury, and though the series is only scheduled for a pilot as of now, it does mean that there's a chance of Nina returning to the small screen. This would be Nina's first regular broadcast role since she left the CW's The Vampire Diaries.

Last year, Nina shared that she wanted her time after Vampire Diaries to be about taking bigger risks. "When I left the show, I was ready to do something different. I wanted to prove everyone wrong who said I would play this one role my whole life or be stuck playing younger roles," she said. And though she has taken on those kinds of roles in films like Flatliners, we're excited at the prospect of seeing her back on television.
